The Army of Monsters

By Sam W., Rolla, MO

I look out across my land filled with castles and beautiful gardens. My world of blocks. Off in the distance, I see a green creature standing with a sad face. It stares right back into my pixilated eyes. I run in my house and grab my battle gear out of my chest. I return to my world of blocks with my strongest armor and a diamond sword in my hand. The battle has begun. I destroy the skeleton guards, but I take damage from their arrows. I slay the zombies who hunger for my precious brain, and avoid the spiders who try to poison me. I hop up the mountain and find myself face to face with the green beast – the Creeper. He growls like a ticking time bomb. He has one purpose in life, to explode. I dive away as the ground behind me is blown to smithereens. I take a deep breath and bask in my accomplishment – My Minecraft kingdom and I are safe.
